( As Ms.Narsiman said, , I read Roemers after I finished my blog post and realized that the answer for #2 was the same)
For this blog post, I need to answer this questions,,,
1. How were the tripods able to control the people?
2. Find evidence (quotations from the novel) to show that even though Will is comfotable living at the castle, He is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse and Eloise have been capped.
3. Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.
Answers
1. The Tripods can control people by capping them. After people get capped, they get metal thing on the forhead. This metal thing is the sign that they are capped. And this metal thing is the controller for the Tripods. They can control thier everything.
2. Page 116 First paragraph and Second paragraph "More and more I had come to see the Capped as lacking what seemed to me the essence of humanity, the vital spark of defiance agianst the rulers of the world. ANd I ahd despised them for it-despised even, the for all their kindness to me and thier goodness, the Comte and Comtesse. But not Eloise. I ahd thought her free, like myself. I might have even come to the idea - its beginnings, I think, were in my mind already - That when we set off once more for the White Mountains, there might not be her bare head. I had come to think of her as my friend : perhaps more. But now I knew that she belonged, irretrievably, body and sould, to the Enemy."
3. Page 121, Second paragraph "Was I to abondon my hopes of freedom, surrender the mastery of the mind, for the sake of wearing jeweled leather and having other men touch thier caps to me? The notion was absurd. Whatever privileges I was given I would still be a sheep among sheep."
